Have you not been watching US sport headlines the last while? Two of the biggest names in sports Kyrie Irving and Aaron Rodgers (Last years NFL MVP) copping a heap of criticism, being labelled both selfish and idiots for their vaccination stances.
Aaron Rodgers is copping grief for implying that he was vaccinated when he wasn't. Since had to sit out a game after he contracted COVID. He's still allowed to play and suited up on the weekend.

Anti-vax player number down as league prepares salary cap clause for clubs

The number of unvaccinated players could drop below 10 as early as next week as the NRL edges towards signing-off on salary cap dispensation for clubs with anti-vaxxers. The decline in players without their first jab has dropped in one week from 15 to 12 with the Sharks, Sea Eagles and Roosters poised to record 100 per cent vaccinated squads.

The Raiders are also confident that at least two of their four unvaccinated players will receive their first jab before Christmas.

The stance taken by the NFL this season has been that if you cannot field a team for a game due to a COVID outbreak due to unvaccinated players, you will forfeit the game. You will also owe the opposing team for ticket revenue if you had an away game.

Rodgers has been rightly criticized for his selfish presentation (lies) of his status. His actions directly threatened his team with huge ramifications. To downplay the entire scenario is silly to do.

Rodgers only ever said he was "immunising" himself, he weaselled out of admitting to "vaccination". He took advice from rich podcast heroes instead. He then caught Covid, and didn't get particularly sick but was stood down from some games. He has since recovered and unfortunately has now been cleared to play against the Vikings at 5am our time tomorrow... er, today.

Funny how you can be a genius and an idiot at the same time. I suppose some of his teammates and fellow cheesehead employees are wondering if he was contagious or not. Sure, he's fine now...

The four Raiders who won't covid vax

Josh Papalii

That's a fair chunk of salary cap.

And if they don't vaccinate where does that leave us? Many here have strong opinions about the COVID19 Vaccination, so I'm curious what your thoughts are.

Further, after an abysmal 2021 with G Williams gone, Hodgson outspoken and the early season jitters...does the stance of the aforementioned jeopardise the entire club?

Do we look unified?

Controversial subject, yes. But at this stage I see the irony on all sorts of levels.

AUDIO: Phil Rothfield reveals who the Covid vaccination hold-outs are at the Canberra Raiders: https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport ... fe5227535a
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Yes, big **** shouts to idiots who were **** by a fairy at birth that allows their physical talents to allow them to earn a massvie wage despite having absolutely zero **** brain cells

Good for them sticking solid to their own selfish positions to the determinent of the community and their team mates.
Should we throw a **** parade for these bloody legends down northborne? Errect statues to commemorate their heroic dedication to science?
Perhaps instead we can just send them to Africa to view first hand the pain and suffering that their "god" signs off on because they dont have access to vaccines.

Big laughs, good bonding. Great times. Im sure.

My personal view is the unvaxxed should be cut from the squad, no jab no play.
You cant be missing 6+ games a season

I hope papa is enjoying the extra time off while the others sweat it out. He does realise once he comes back down he won't be allowed across the border again? So no seeing family


I think someone needs to sit down with these boys and tell them a few home truths.
Get them to speak with someone who has had covid, someone who has lost someone to covid, someone who has had mental health problems because of lockdown, someone who has lost their job and had to go onto welfare, talk to someone who has lost someone because there were no icu beds/operations delayed because non- vaxxed covid patients were taking the beds

Make the picture real to them, so far these boys have been living in luxury on the gold coast, being paid big bucks and obviously not had family struggling or sick

I would be curious to know how many anti vaxxers have seen any of the reality of covid.

I honestly believe all 4 players and 1 ex player on staff would change their views pretty quickly if they had been touched by or made to feel what its like to be touched by covid

See how solid they are if the money goes, they cant see their kids in NZ, cant see family in QLD

There is nothing solid about this, they are proving they are simple minded and have no understanding of the big picture or how covid has affected millions of people, and not just those who have become unwell or died

Yeah, when you consider the Warriors have spent the last 2 years away from home to keep the game going, not getting the shot when you’re able to is a bit of a **** move.

No one has had harder in the NRL during COVID than the Canberra Raiders who were forced to sit on a bus for 3 hours for some home games.

I really cant believe how aggressive so many pro vaxers are.

At the end of the days its their body their choice, if they dont want to get the jab, then let them live with the consequences and move on.

You cant force them to do anything and the more you try the less likely they will.
So instead of being aggressive and attacking. Focus on your own garden.

Theres no point getting worked up over something you cant control.

I don't see anyone saying they should be forced to take the vaccine. The options are whether they miss ~6 games or we rule them out indefinitely to avoid disruption. It's their right to not vaccinate as it is a player's right in Queensland (at this stage) to go about their career without mixing with high risk opponents.

I agree with Roger, no one is saying they should be tired to a pole and jabbed( twice)

What we are saying is don't get jabbed thats fine, but deal with the consequences which are
- you cant work ( plenty of examples outside the nrl there)
- live with lock outs ( like nt - the unvaxxed get locked out of everything)
- don't see family again
Etc

You do realise if we all said no to the vax we would all be lockdown still?

Is it confirmed CNK and CHN are the other two? I haven't seen any official sources naming them, only speculation in this thread. I don't think it's fair to critisize them if we don't even know for sure. Was it reported somewhere I missed?

Huge boost for Raiders as enforcer Josh Papalii considers vaccination U-turn

Josh Papalii has informed Canberra Raiders officials he will be vaccinated in time for next year's NRL season. That is expected to leave Canberra with just two unvaccinated players heading into next season. Unvaccinated players must also arrive and depart training wearing a mask, as Joe Tapine did on day one of preseason last Friday. Papalii is in Queensland, and expected to return to Raiders training on Monday.
